the whole gently caress YEAH FOX IN YOUR FACE thing sort of works since the US Open is now pretty traditionally at brutal courses. I'd love to instead see it at the Waste Management Open. For those that don't follow golf, it's an early-season tournament in Arizona where nobody gives a gently caress, golfers high-five fans walking to their ball, most of the gallery are drunk/insane frat boys, golfers throw souvenirs into the crowd, it's great.

sportsgenius86 posted:My understanding was that there's intention for STO to be the Cleveland Fox Sports channel but the current Cavs TV deal has to expire first. My former roommate interned at STO for a few years and says that's what he was told. Makes sense to me but who knows how true it is. This is what I've heard as well. They still can't officially call it "Fox Sports ____" (whether that'd be Cleveland-specific or Ohio, I don't know) until the cavs deal dies, which I think is next year.

FB Scoops posted:Fox Sports: Erin Andrews has replaced Pam Oliver as the sideline reporter for FOX's top NFL crew, according to Richard Deitsch of SI.com. Oliver will work with FOX's No. 2 crew consisting of Kevin Burkhardt and John Lynch for the 2014 season, and then be removed from FOX's NFL coverage completely for 2015 and beyond. Why is Pam Oliver getting phased out? I thought she worked pretty well.

That reminds me, with the government outlawing the NFL's blackout rules, would that stand to eventually change their market rules as well? Or is that an apples/oranges thing?

ElwoodCuse posted:They didn't actually outlaw the NFL's blackout rules, they're still in effect. The NFL just can't tell the networks "the government says you have to" when it's time to negotiate a new TV deal. Aaaah OK that makes a lot more sense. I was wondering why so little attention seemed to be focused on it when the decision was made.

I'll meet soccer halfway here. I can accept ads on soccer jerseys because there aren't any commercial breaks aside from halftime. Basketball has 10,000 timeouts though so that's gonna get old really fast.

I go to a ton of Toledo Walleye games (low level minor league hockey) and they and most of the teams in the league have ads on the jerseys. To be honest, they're not hard to look past after a couple games. The ice has ads on it as well. Now granted, this sort of stuff has gone along with minor leagues for a while now so I suppose there's a different feel to it versus going to a full fledged top level pro game. Still, it's not the worst thing. I just wanna watch hockey. E: it definitely does give the jersey a cluttered look, I'll grant. The jerseys you buy from the stores don't have ads on them though.

If it's just SportsCenter then yeah I'd have interrupted it. Do you know if ESPNNews immediately went to it?

I'd love it too but Clement hasn't been with ESPN for a long time, to my knowledge. He does occasional color commentary on CSN for Flyers games. Gary Thorne is mostly baseball these days (EDIT: I think he did call the Frozen Four for a few years though). I'd love Steve Levy to get back into the booth but I don't know if that's gonna happen. The last 2 frozen fours, I honestly felt bad for Barry Melrose because the guy was trying his damndest to cover for Bucci (who was green as hell) and it just wasn't working.
